Great place with plenty of room for our family of four (all adults now). Cozy enough to enjoy time together, and yet had ample space for everyone to relax on their own. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed. Easy walk to beach, parks, restaurants, and free shuttle around town and to Seattle water taxi. We would definitely rent here again. Thank you!
We really enjoyed our stay. The house had spectacular views from almost every room. Loved the extras which made it feel more like home,
Would definitely recommend and will be back.
We were extremely happy about our stay here! The property is in a great location. We enjoyed spending time at Alki beach, walking to local restaurants, and enjoying the beautiful views from the deck. Driving into Seattle was super quick, but we also used the water taxi. We loved this place, and would highly recommend it.
Ken and Karen were great hosts--they gave us helpful tips on things to do and communicated promptly any time we reached out with questions.
The house was very clean and the location was fantastic. We would definitely recommend it.
Such a nice home in a great location. Couldn't possibly hope to find a nicer home than this one. Perfect neighborhood and having your own parking spot on Alki is very "choice" :)
We so enjoyed the visit to Seattle, made even more special with this rental. Went to Alki beach every day, actually several times a day. So convenient to downtown, the Mariners game we attended, and great restaurant and grocery food. Worked perfectly for our family of six - four adults and two grand children of 12 and 15. Hosts were so very accommodating. Great time in and great place.
Karen and Ken - We had a wonderful few days at your home near Alki. We were able to celebrate a 1st, 30th, and 61st birthday - three generations! Your setting and layout worked beautifully for our family to enjoy games, puzzles, and meals together, but also afforded space for people to stretch out, relax and read. The beach and the park are so close and offer so many activities. We would definitely plan to stay with you again!
If youâre looking for a place within walking distance to the water, this is the place for you! We stayed for a month to escape Atlanta heat and it fit the bill perfectly! Extremely easy to get into Seattle while also offering plenty of shopping within 10 minutes. Honestly, there arenât enough words to describe how wonderful our vacation was. The owners are also delightful and always prompt at answering questions.
This wonderful house is one short block to Alki Beach, its shops, and restaurants. The house is both spacious and relaxing. It is far better than the listing suggests. It has everything you need in the kitchen and the bathrooms. Off street parking for one car is ideal given how busy the neighborhood can be. There are outdoor decks on many levels. A short drive to West Seattle and the freeways.
You can take the water taxi from Alki to downtown Seattle. You will love staying here as much as we did.
This was a reprieve after the hustle and bustle of the city. Multiple relaxing and living areas including an incredible rooftop deck overlooking the ocean. Kitchen and dining room were big and had anything needed. Every bedroom had its own bathroom and all the comforts. Parking is off street and easy. The park next door was utilized all the time. Bar is down the street which can create a bit more noise with open windows since the AC is not to be used. Close to lots of restaurants that were great. We would make this a longer trip in the future since accommodations were great!
We absolutely loved our stay! All the other reviews say it best...great view off deck, nearness to Alki Beach is fantastic and house is clean and well stocked with everything you need. If we come back to Seattle our family would stay again. Couple of things to note: if steps are difficult for you then this house isn't for you, A/C is in master bedroom only (you won't need it unless it's record setting temps, I'm a big guy and like it cold and had no issues sleeping/staying comfortable), our family of 6 had room to sleep just fine, but if you had 6 adults it might be tight and not too comfy for the one on the hid-a-bed. None of these things dimmed our enjoyment of the stay just some info to better help you choose.
We loved the location and the rooftop patio! The only problem was the pull out sofa bed. Replace it!
My son refused to sleep on the sofa bed it was so hard. He slept on the couch which was bad because then our only sitting area on the main floor was taken as well.
We LOVED the house and location, which is right in the heart of Alki Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed the rooftop deck, and my husband cooked some memorable Pacific Northwest dinners up there. But more remarkable was the scenery. One night we were awestruck by the view up there--the Sound, the mountains, the old growth forest behind us, the city lights, the brightly lit ferries passing in the night, and a big full moon, which we later found out was a Harvest moon during the Autumnal Equinox. I kept saying, "this place is magical!"
All those elements are a rare combination.
Plus the house was wonderful--very comfortable and beautifully decorated with everything we needed. Just a good vibe place and neighborhood all around.
We would rent here again in a heartbeat.
This rental was outstanding!!!!
Location was ideal: across the street (10 feet) from a huge playground and then athletic fields with soccer goals and one short block to Alki Beach which has at least a dozen restaurants and is very active but not loud at all at night. Great little beach town. Seattle and all the sites were 20 minutes away or 6 minute drive to water taxi.
House is clearly a 2nd home. Every dish/glass you can imagine, lots of nice TVs, books to read, W&D, etc but best part was they had extra towels, napkins, paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, dishwashing detergent, etc. You can show up and not go to the grocery beforehand for that stuff (although Safeway and banks are 5 minutes drive). Tons of room in the home. Best feature by far was large rooftop deck with great views.
Don't hesitate, stay here! Owners were great to deal with, provided recommendations, etc.
Excellent, well equipped property. Close to a park and the beach! Walkable to restaurants. Was only 20 min to downtown Seattle by car or water taxi! Close to bike and scooter rentals. Roof top views are awesome.
House was everything and more as advertised, within walking distance to all that is necessary for a great time, food, bars and entertainment. Made use of the 4th floor deck every day. Over all a great stay. Plenty of room for 3 couples.
This is an excellent place for a family stay. It is spacious and perfectly located within just a few steps from the beach. There are 3 floors plus a balcony above overlooking Elliott Bay, the Seattle waterfront and the Olympic mountains.. The kitchen is large and well equipped. All of the bedrooms are large and comfy for a good night's sleep. A short drive takes you to the Water Taxi for riding to the Seattle piers, the best way to avoid the city traffic. .
Ken and I have been married and have lived in the Seattle area for 40 years. We moved to West Seattle to be close to our family, the water, and all the fun that Seattle offers. You will love vacationing here!
We love West Seattle. We wanted a home within easy walking distance to the sandy beach of Alki, coffee shops, and restaurants. We love the ease of getting to all the sites of Seattle. The water taxi ride to downtown is like taking a cruise around the Sound.
There are many wonderful things about our property. Location is probably number one. Our three bedrooms each have their own separate bathrooms. This is great for couples who want to share the property and for large families. With a beach, kids playground and park nearby, and easy access to all amenities it's an ideal rental for vacationers. And everyone loves our rooftop deck with views of the mountains, sound, and passing ferries.
